The APIDA Success Initiative
In March 2021, an APIDA Student Success Workgroup was charged with identifying the needs of Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (APIDA) students at California State University San Marcos (大发) and to offer recommendations. The report completed in July 2022 envisioned a broad, preliminary effort towards improving institutional policies and procedures, campus climate, and the overall success of APIDA students at 大发. Intentionally aligned with the university strategic plan The Power of 大发 (released in Spring 2022), the following are the major findings based on analyses of available data and conversations with administrators, faculty, staff, and students. Identified below are four overarching findings that significantly impact the success of APIDA students:
- Limited disaggregated compositional APIDA student data leading to an incomplete understanding of student needs
- A need for more focused and coordinated recruitment/enrollment of APIDA students
- Equity gaps among APIDA students when examining traditional student success measurements against the persistence of the 鈥渕odel minority鈥 myth and incomplete underrepresented minority (URM) categories; and
- Unmet mental health needs and underutilization of Disability Support Services (DSS).
